This series rekindled my love of reading. I think dystopian fiction is my favourtie genre, and this series really made me question who I would be in the situation these charachters find themselves in.

This was the book that got me engaged with reading. At Cessnock High we had to read for 15 minutes every morning. I struggled for a while to find a book that really captured my imagination until "The Power of One" came along. It had a focus on boxing which I loved but it was an incredible story of resilience and not giving up no matter how insurmountable the odds appear to be. When you finally find this type of book for you (there is at least one for everyone) you will find yourself completely captivated, not wanting to put it down. This book proved to me how much better books are rather than movies. The quality of the writing in this book transported me to South Africa and I felt like I was walking in the shoes of the characters.

Each year since 1945 the CBCA has brought children and books together across Australia through Children's Book Weeek®. During this time schools and public libraries spend one glorious week celebrating books and Australian children's authors and illustrators. Classroom teachers, teacher librarians and public librarians create colourful displays, develop activities, run competitions and tell stories relating to a theme to highlight the importance of reading. You will often see parades with students dressed as their favourite book character.

Children's Book Week® History

Children's Book Week® has had a slogan since 1945. Until 1987 CBCA Branches had created their own posters to illustrate the themes and promote events. Since 1987 there has been a national theme which is chosen and voted on by the CBCA members. Artwork is developed by a winner of the previous year's CBCA Book of the Year Awards and used for Children's Book Week® promotional material and Book Week activity and display and activities.
Please note that the Children's Book Week® artwork is subject to copyright. The artwork we supply as part of our Children's Book Week® resources is made available in good faith. We ask that you do not alter the artists illustration or image in anyway and preserve the CBCA logo and brand. You can read about using our logo and reach out to us if you would like to extend the use of the resources supplied.
